multistate outbreak of salmonella serotype tennessee infections associated with peanut butter--united states, 2006-2007.in november 2006, public health officials at cdc and state health departments detected a substantial increase in the reported incidence of isolates of salmonella serotype tennessee. in a multistate case-control study conducted during february 5-13, 2007, illness was strongly associated with consumption of either of two brands (peter pan or great value) of peanut butter produced at the same plant. based on these findings, the plant ceased production and recalled both products on february 14, 2007 ...200717538526

a national outbreak of salmonella serotype tennessee infections from contaminated peanut butter: a new food vehicle for salmonellosis in the united states.background. salmonella serotype tennessee is a rare cause of the estimated 1 million cases of salmonellosis occurring annually in the united states. in january 2007, we began investigating a nationwide increase in salmonella tennessee infections. methods. we defined a case as salmonella tennessee infection in a patient whose isolate demonstrated 1 of 3 closely related pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns and whose illness began during the period 1 august 2006 through 31 july 2007. we conduc ...201121810748
a comparison of the bax system method to the u.s. food and drug administration's bacteriological analytical manual and international organization for standardization reference methods for the detection of salmonella in a variety of soy ingredients.the performances of two dupont bax system pcr assays for detecting salmonella on a variety of low-moisture soy ingredients were evaluated against the u. s. food and drug administration's bacteriological analytical manual (fda bam) method or the international organization for standardization (iso) 6579 reference method. these evaluations were conducted as a single laboratory validation at an iso 17025 accredited third-party laboratory. validations were conducted on five soy ingredients: isolated ...201425285497
survival of salmonella enterica serotype tennessee during simulated gastric passage is improved by low water activity and high fat content.the low water activity (a(w) 0.3) of peanut butter prohibits the growth of salmonella in a product; however, illnesses are reported from peanut butter contaminated with very small doses, suggesting the food matrix itself influences the infectious dose of salmonella, potentially by improving salmonella's survival in the gastrointestinal tract. the purpose of our study was to quantify the survival of a peanut butter outbreak-associated strain of salmonella enterica serotype tennessee when inoculat ...201323433384
effect of water activity on the thermal tolerance and survival of salmonella enterica serovars tennessee and senftenberg in goat's milk caramel.the low thermal tolerance of salmonella enterica in foods with intermediate moisture levels, such as caramel sauces, ensures that mild heat treatment is sufficient to achieve 5-log reductions of this pathogen. this treatment mitigates the risk posed by salmonellae in raw materials; however, recontamination might occur because of survival of the pathogen in products that are not heated before consumption. this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of water activity (aw) on the thermal tolera ...201728459616
antimicrobial activity of cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, and lauric arginate against salmonella tennessee in a glycerol-sucrose model and peanut paste at different fat concentrations.the objective of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activities of carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, and lauric arginate (lae) against salmonella in a low water activity (aw ) glycerol-sucrose model and in peanut paste with different fat concentrations. salmonella tennessee was inoculated into the model and the low fat (<5%) and high fat (50%) peanut paste adjusted to aw 1.0, 0.7, 0.5, and 0.3 and with or without cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, or lae. the survival of the bacterium over 3 or 5 d ...201526219362
